Fun in the Sun

Yesterday, Myself, Mike, Rob and Will took a trip out to Sunshine Village Mountain in search of some powder and good times. We caught the bus out at 7:40 am and arrived there shortly after 8am.

It was a nice sunny day and everything was good, until i broke my board ending my riding for the day and consequently everyone elses. As we didnt have a ride home, we were planning to hitch hike. As we made our way out onto the highway a very big and expensive ute pulled up alongside us, the driver called out "need a lift?". How perfect, we had only been waiting five minutes and we allready had a comfortable lift home. As we placed our boards in the tray of the ute and went to get into the ute, the driver informed us that we would have to 'sit in the back'. No worries, ill just open the back door and get in? However the back seat was covered in luggage, this is when i realised that he meant for us to sit in the tray of the ute.

I thought quickly about the decision, and with the temperature dropping as it got later, and the highway being fairly deserted, this seemed to by our best option, so i jumped up and into the tray, We took off.

The tray was rather comfortable as it could have easily fit 20 people in it. The drive was fun to say the least, but when i thought it couldnt get any better, the driver passed through a can of beer each through the back window and we enjoyed our free beer whilst looking out in the canadian rocky mountains.

All in all, it was good decision apart from the physical dangers, good experience.
Where is my mind?


Enjoying the ride
